As we get ready for a long vacation with our kids, I keep coming back to this thought over and over…

They only get one childhood.
That’s it. One. And we, as parents, get such a short amount of time to shape how that feels for them. Not in a perfect way — but in a loving one. A present one. A “I’m here, even when it’s hard” kind of way.
I’m trying to remind myself that showing them the magic of the world doesn’t always mean big things. Sometimes it’s slowing down. Sitting together. Letting them talk. Letting them be bored. Letting them be loud. Letting them be exactly who they are in every stage, even when that stage stretches us.

In Lakota ways, winter is when we’re supposed to gather close. Waníyetu is for storytelling. For sharing old teachings and new ones. For reminding our children who they are and where they come from. Not rushed. Not scheduled. Just together. This is the season where lessons happen naturally — not because we sat them down to teach, but because they were watching us the whole time.

Place matters too. The land teaches, whether we’re home or traveling. How we move through places, how we treat them, how we speak about them — our kids absorb all of it. They learn that the world is big, but they also learn what it means to belong.

Being a parent isn’t about doing everything right. It’s about staying. About showing up again and again. About loving them when they’re easy to love and when they’re not. About choosing presence when everything else is pulling at you.

One day they’ll remember these moments. Not the stress. Not the planning. But the feeling of being safe, loved, and seen.
That’s the lesson I’m holding onto this winter.

Slow down. Be here.

They only get one childhood......🎄🌿✨️

PAID STAFF HOLIDAY WEEK + SHIPPING PAUSE

This week, we’re doing something we believe deeply in: rest.
Our team is taking a paid holiday break, and because of that—

🚫 NO SHIPPING

📦 All orders placed Monday Dec 22 through Sunday Dec 28 will NOT ship
Our staff work hard all year — long days, heavy labor, late nights, events, production, packing, customer care… all of it. This break is intentional and deserved. Orders will resume shipping after the holiday week once everyone is back and rested.

🎁 Need a last-minute gift?
GIFT CARDS are the answer.
✔️ Available on our website
✔️ Delivered instantly by email
✔️ No shipping delays
✔️ Lets your recipient choose exactly what they want
Gift cards support our business and honor our staff’s time off — a win all around.

Even if you’re not purchasing right now, you can still support us in big ways: 🤍 Like & share this post
🤍 Tag someone who loves Lakota Made
🤍 Grab a gift card for later
Small businesses survive because of community — not because of endless hustle. Thank you for respecting this pause, supporting ethical business practices, and continuing to show up for us year after year.

✨ No shipping this week. Paid staff holiday. Gift cards always open. ✨

Today is our final open day before Christmas, and it also lands on the Winter Solstice — a day of pause, reflection, rest, and turning back toward the light. It feels fitting to close out the year this way.

📍 Lakota Made
606 N Riverfront Drive
Mankato, MN 56001

🕙 Open today from 10:00–3:00pm

If you’ve been meaning to stop in — for last-minute gifts, winter essentials, pain relief, teas, salves, soaps, or just a quiet moment — today is the day. We’ll be closed for the holiday week to rest, reset, and spend time with our families before stepping into the new year.
Our storefront holds so much more than products. It holds years of work, learning, recipes developed for family needs, partnerships with Indigenous artists, and the everyday labor it takes to keep a small, values-driven business going. Every shelf, jar, and label represents intention, care, and community.
The Solstice reminds us that rest is not laziness — it’s necessary. That slowing down is part of the cycle. That even in the darkest stretch of the year, the light is already returning.
Thank you for showing up for us this year — online, in-store, at events, in messages, and in support that often goes unseen. We don’t take it lightly. Not ever.
Stop in today, say hi, stock up, breathe for a moment.
We’ll see you on the other side of the holidays 🤍

Yesterday I lost my wallet at the Cinemark in River Hills Mall in Mankato. Despite returning multiple times and asking to re-enter my seat to search, staff told me they had looked and did not find it.
Unfortunately, that means I lost all of my debit cards and my driver’s license.
Because traveling without ID is not a safe situation — especially as a brown person in the current climate — I will not be traveling today and won’t be traveling again until I’m able to replace my license at the DMV, hopefully on Monday.
This is why I won’t be able to attend Sean Sherman’s event in the Cities today. I’m disappointed to miss it, but safety has to come first.

I heavily apologize to those that planned on visiting us today at the market, but staff had already adjusted their weekends to not work and im not willing to uproot their plans. Especially before the holidays.

Lakota Made

I have been learning about the cultural uses of plants for about 14 years, I have been making my own plant medicines for 12 plus years.

Lakota Made came about in 2018 when I was a stay at home mom and was looking for a hobby to keep me busy outside of momma duties. It has definitely grown into a beautiful passion of mine!
